Dryandra arrived late Saturday afternoon.
The usual Breyer boxes are blue, but they do use specialty boxes like this. (The Christmas models often come in a green box, etc.)
Dryandra is a part of Breyer's Wild Animal Series
and he has a gold label on his underside.
I am pretty sure he is a chalky, too. I got out my other Brightys to compare and he sure looks chalky in comparison.
The paint job on mine is really nice, but those stripes remind me more of a primitive equid than a numbat, the tiny anteater he represents.
I don't have a lot of Brightys in my collection as I've never been overly fond of the mold, but I'm not unhappy to add Dryandra to my collection.
Riding along with Dryandra was another box,
an orange Breyer Halloween box.
Inside was Cryptid, this year's Freedom Series Halloween horse.
He has metallic colors in his tail
and mane.
Like Dryandra, he has gold lettering on his underside that identifies him and the year he was produced.
He also has red eyes. They're subtle, but they're there.
The Lippizaner mold is the only Freedom series mold that I actively collect and Cryptid is #13 in the conga. I'll have him out on display until Halloween, so I have some time to rearrange the shelves so he can be with the others of the mold.
Stay 'tooned!
